Oxbeast - fair enough, I wasn't having a go. [8D]
Dr Wardle - hadn't come across the underwire issue (I didn't tend to wear them back then!) but I did have an incident where we noticed the readings going up and down and then realised the person holding it was wearing steel capped boots.....
On the sexism in archaeology issue - many women and men who responded to the BWA survey reported having heard/been on the recieving end of comments, although this was less likely to be the case if you were older (Over 40).
And back on topic (ish) I still haven't seen this episode yet! I'm quite looking forward to seeing the Roman one next week. A friend works in the baths in Bath and he says 'believe me, it gets worse', but I think he'll be watching too! }
